I'm guilty of reading this after watching the movie. It was a quick read but enjoyable.
i don't even know how to properly review this book.
morally devastating, as the review on the cover suggested aptly describes it. Michael Berg felt more a villain than Hanna in some bits of the novel and that's what compelled me to him (that and he reminds me so much of the person who recommended the book to me). he was so cold at times. ruthless.
I especially loved the brief moment where he was talking to his father about whether he should reveal Hanna's secret to save herself.a small bit of philosophy, but nothing preachy (i'm looking at you ayn rand).
"if one knows what is good for another person who in turn is blind to it, then one must try to open his eyes. One has to leave him the last word, but one must talk to him, to him and not to someone else behind his back" - michael berg's father.
beautifully written. absolutely devastating.i need a happy novel about talking animals after this one. but i'm not sure how many novels about talking mice will make this one stop haunting me and questioning me about my own moral stand points and the constant tossing and turning debate of whether i like Hanna or i don't like Hanna. i commiserate with Michael's guilt for loving Hanna but loving a criminal .
onward to the book about mice.

I read this book almost 10 years ago and remember thinking it was merely okay. I reread it last night after seeing the movie (which was pretty good). My opinion of the book is much the same. It was okay.

This book and the film (which I watched first) have made me think so deeply for such a short and concise novel.
